Premiership striker Michael Owen lifts cancer family with visit | The ...

A BABY girl whose fightback from cancer was boosted by Premier League star Michael Owen has been given the all-clear.

Battling Rumeysa Kose was yesterday allowed home from hospital days after the 16-month-old got a cuddle on her ward from the former England striker.

And overjoyed dad Osman, 33, said he had played a vital part in her recovery. He said: ?The visit from Michael Owen was brilliant. Though Rumeysa didn?t know who he was, the effect it had on the rest of us really helped her.?

The computing student explained: ?We had been through some real dark times but talking to him and him taking an interest gave us such an emotional lift. He was absolutely lovely. Now Rumeysa is clear ? and that is wonderful.?

The little girl?s kidneys were found to be riddled with tumours.One had to be removed along with a third of the other. Rumeysa then endured gruelling chemo.

She may yet need a transplant. But as Rumeysa was reunited with her brother Husevin, four, in Clayton, Staffs, mum Esra, 31, said: ?Hopefully the cancer won?t come back.?

Owen, 33, visited the local children?s ward with Stoke City team-mates to hand out Christmas presents. He said yesterday: ?It?s great news Rumeysa is well again.?
